Nursing students offer free occult blood screening at a community heal

Nursing students offer free occult blood screening at a community health fair. This activity would be an example of which area of nursing practice?

1. Promoting health and wellness
2. Illness prevention
3. Restoring health
4. Rehabilitation

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Restoring health focuses on the ill client, and it extends from early detection (such as checking for occult blood in feces) through helping the client during the recovery period. Health promotion and wellness activities enhance the quality of life and maximize personal potential. Rehabilitation is an activity of health restoration.
